Run Your Ceiling Fans and Save on Electricity

Ceiling fans are more than simply decorative. They can help control your home heating and cooling costs. Using a multi-speed reversible ceiling fan could save from 25-40% on cooling and up to 10% on heating costs.

In summer circulating air helps you to feel cooler so you can set you home thermostat from 2 to 5 degrees warmer, saving you energy. Be sure to get an Energy Star certified model, as it will be about 50% more efficient than other models. And if it comes with a light fixture choose a compact fluorescent bulb to save even more.
